GLIMPSE by Chase Twichell © It was as if a window suddenly blew open and the sky outside the mind came flooding in. My childhood shriveled to a close, thread of smoke that rose and touched a cloud — or the cloud’s replica adrift on the slow river of thinking — and disappeared inside it. In...

  The Awakening Age  By Ben Okri  O ye who travel the meridian line, May the vision of a new world within you shine. May eyes that have lived with poverty’s rage, See through to the glory of the awakening age. For we are all richly linked in hope, Woven in history, like a mountain rope....

I Will Not Die an Unlived Life By Dawna Markova © I will not die an unlived life I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes...

Awakening By RoKu ©  the spirit of morning becomes I awakening and filling in the very deep soul within with laughter and light with jollity hugs tears with passion and kisses I am the awakening I am the glad surprise a tiny creature powerless and yet still arise before flashing rays learning to rejoice with all in...

I found this idea on the Methodist Church website.

Good Morning, friends! Today our invitation to prayer is in Psalm 5: 1–8: Listen to my words, Lord, consider my inmost thoughts; heed my cry for help, my King and God. For to you I pray in the morning knowing you will hear me. In the morning I lay my requests before you and keep watch...

A reading from Psalm 99 1 The Lord reigns, let the nations tremble; he sits enthroned between the cherubim, let the earth shake. 2 Great is the Lord in Zion; he is exalted over all the nations. 3 Let them praise your great and awesome name – he is holy. 4 The King is mighty, he loves justice – you...

Moving from the shoreline to the Saviour As Jesus walked along the beach, He ‘saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. Then He said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” They immediately left their nets and followed...

Your love comes to me in the silence, ordinary. Like a child’s treasure I turn it over in the nook of my hand, warming its smooth heaviness. A thought of You, stony, clearly defined, drops as though down a deep well, is lost momentarily, then turns up a certainty in the heart. Cathy Hutcheon © Good evening...

Good morning good Cornerstone friends. I hope you are keeping safe and in good heart this morning.

The Ugly And The Beauty In Real Life By  Jose Cruz © Betrayal Love Loyalty Respect These all part of real life. All part of everyday life. Part of the life we live. Part of life that shall never change. Real life is no game. Real life is dangerous. Real life brings pain. Real life brings...

Do not search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is...
